    Its free? Have the fecked it up with loads of freemium sh1te?


  • Registered Users Posts: 55,471 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    Freemium done well, as far as I know. You can pay for shortcuts to plough through the game in the quickest time possible, or you can play properly (like the first game) and win with skill. No timers or anything like that, to the best of my knowledge.

    Edit: from the eurogamer review:
    Progress this time is along a linear pathway of the sort familiar from most casual games. Each level passed opens up the next, but there are none of the expected freemium tricks to delay your journey. There are no cooldown timers here, and the game never makes you wait four hours for something to grow. Nor are there any depleting energy reserves to break the game up into paywall-infested chunks. That allowing you to keep playing without crude interruption feels refreshing and generous says a lot about the sad state of free-to-play gaming on mobiles.

    Generous is the word alright! Im no expert and Im sure their analysts say different but that to me reads like they're p1ssing millions up the wall not charging even a Euro or Dollar for one of the most popular touchscreen games, I would have paid up to a fiver for it personally.

    That review is based on an early version. They've made it a lot more difficult to get keys (they drop randomly), which are needed for unlocking levels and plants so you have to grind a lot. I'd rather just pay a few quid for it. I actually stopped playing because I got sick of playing the same levels over and over again hoping for keys to drop.

    Dunno if any has mentioned it but I love MineCraft. Very fun app. I remember when I bought the app it cost €4.99 and then around a week later it was on sale for €0.10... I was raging :P
    Great app anyway.
